Michigan Beach is a small community in the city of
St. Catharines, Ontario,
Canada. Named for the
Michiganers, a group of seasonal workers from the State of
Michigan who travelled to
Port Dalhousie to work on the
Welland Canal during the summer months, the area served as their seasonal community. Today, Michigan Beach is home to the St. Catharines Marina, the Michigan Beach Peer and Lighthouse, and a number of upscale
condominiums.
